To utilize my professional skills working with students and making my self available to assist admin, I was able to work with students in elementary (Kindergarten through 5th grade) During this time I was able to execute the lesson plans left by teachers to ensure that a curriculum is met and maintained effectively all while using behavior management that incorporates trust and respect between the students and myself. These skills and techniques are an important part of working in the BIR office. I have stepped into many roles at Newington.
